What the Liauur Dealer Must Say When
Called TO Give an Account or His
Work.
In our scriptures a judgement scene
is described. When the Judge Is seated
on His throne and before Him the peO-
pie are gathered. He shall say to those
on his right hand:
Come, ye blessed Of My father; in

from the foundations Of the earth. For

Yesterday was the seventy ninth birth
day of the esteemed pioneer citizen,
David Halves, and the members of his
family took it upon themselves to give
the Deacon genuine surprise. A num-
Der of Deacon Halves most intimate
friends and neighbors were INVITED in
without his knowledge, TO take tea with
him at his home, the residence of his son,
Postmaster C. W Halves, on Thirteen
street The guests arrived at O'Clock.
but it happened that Mr. Halves was
busy holding an inquest at Moline at the
time the feast was to begin, so Mr. G.
W. HAYES telephOned to Moline to his
father to ''cOme home at once, and then
drove up and met him and brought him
down The deacon was taken complete
lY by surprise, and last night when, after
the prayer meeting at the First Baptist
church, the members of the congregation
came in upon him and presented him
with a back ebony gold mounted cane,
through the pastor, Rev |. W Read, MS
astonshment knew no bounds. 1t was
day full of incidents for Deacon
Halves, and he will not forget it as long
as he lives

THE New York Graphic says there
are several MARI ages of young and
wealthy American girls to take place this
week, where the brifegroOms are for
eigners, some with titles, others without
them. 1t would seem that despite the
worldwide travelling of our rich young
heiresses. our countrywomen have not
yet learned that in no other country on
the earth are woven SO teuderly cared
for, so heartily respected and so sincerely
loved as in this their native land. Nor
does 1t appear that the history of the
wrecked homes and broken lives thai
have marked the careers of nearly all the
women, who, for the last ten years, have
gone 20 foreign lands for husbands, has
any deterrent effect upon the brides, who
are won by the glitter of names that are
bought for them at price and their own
youth and beauty thrown in as part of
the bargain. There is no mystery about
the results of these Il iscarriageS of affec
tion-these barterings of all that is sa-
cred and holy in womanhood. 1t is only
week or two since that there was pub
lished list Of over thirty of our country
women married 10 noted men in Europe,
not one of whom is living in friendship
with her husband, and nearly all of them
seeking to obtain legal release from the
hated bonds that their own and their
fathers money helped to bind around
Shem. There are some of our own for,
mer New York girls in the wretGhed cat
alogue, and there will be more added as
the years 90 on.

CLOSING WORK OF THE KNIGHTS.


Continuous Session for Nine Hours
What Was Accomplished.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct 2O.-Three days
work was crowded into one by the general
assembly of the Knights of Labor Wednes-
day, and every body was tired when, at the
end of continuous session of nine hours, the
gavel fell and the convention was at an end
The ad journment was too late for the bulk of
the delegates to catch the evening trains
but most of them got away by noon Thurs
day. The administration" party is on the
whole well satisfied with what has been ac-
complished. although considerable regret ia
expressed that il was not strong enough to
bounce the discordant elements in the exscu
the general master workman The antis, on
the other hand, while deriving some consola-
ton from this particular victory, are brim-
full Of dissatisfaction with the general out
come of the gathering, and unsparing in
their criticisms of she treatment which they
received at its hands
Had it not been for the rigid enforcement
of the three-minute speech rule, and the fact
that no recess for dinner was permitted, the
convention might have continued in session
for an indefinite period, so numerous and i'm
portant were the questions submitted. First
there was proposition from the committee
on law to relieve the general executive board
of all authority in connection with strikes,
unless called upon to interfere by the district
or national trades assembly involved, and
this proposition was adopted There was q
brief debate upon a resolution prohibiting
the carrying Of any other but state and ma
tional colors in Knight Of Labor parades.
This was opposed by some of the Chicago,
New York and Detroit delegates, but on a
call Of the roll it was adopted by a vote of
ll2 to 80
A proposition was made to strike out tina {
portion of the constitution relating to the
sale of intoxicating liquors at social gather
ings given under the auspices of the order,
but the advocates of temperance had things
their own way and the clause was allowed to
stand by vote of 104 to 40. The trouble
with D. A. 126 was disposed of by leaving it
with the executive board, with the statement
that when the assembly complied with the
law it would be reinstated, and the difficulty
with the cigarmakers was straddled by a
resolution that all who considered themselves
expelled by the action at Richmond deelar-
ing that they must belong either to the
knights or the Internationals, but could not
belong to both, could be reinstated without
fee. Contributions of locals to the co-opera-
tive fund were made optional instead of COM
pulsory. The executive board were instruct
ed to receive no charters for Chinese assem-

CHICAGO, Oct 20-The National Brick
makers association at its second days session
Wednesday listened to the reading of vari-
Gus papers upon matters pertaining to brick
making, which papers were afterward gen.
orally discussed. A paper upon the burn
ing and drying of brick with natural gas,
by Mr. D. C. Cowley, of Pittsburg, was the
subject of considerable discussion. Mr.
Cowley said that since the introduction of
natural gas into Pittsburg for manufactur-
ing purposes the majority of the brickmak-
srs had used that fuel with great success, and
that it was conceded that at no distant day
natural gas would be the fuel, for brick
burning Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, D. W. Puring-
ton, Chicago; vice presidents, c. J. Hol-
man, Sargent Bluff, Iowa, and G. H Smith,
